Hello all,

Was wondering if any one knows of, if it even exists, a program, PC/Windoz based, for packing up an entire web site from one server to move it to another. I've heard people talk about this, but haven't come accross anything that seemed to do this. If you used or heard of such a thing, please do let me know. Got 3 web sites to move this coming week to a new dedicated server.

THX's much

:D

If you're using a UNIX-based server, you should simply be able to tar up the site into one file and move it.

eg. tar cvf mysite.tar public_html

Yea, I thought about that, as both are on UNIX boxes, but that makes for ONE BIG file to transfer. :eek:

and what is the problem?
you can FXP between the 2 box or make a ftp from 1 box to another. Not using your bandwidth

Well,... I guess the problem here, is I never tried that before. Care to elaborate on this is done! :cartman:

Well.. if you is using a Windows PC at home, just download FlashFXP (http://www.flashfxp.com/) and login in both sites, and move from 1 site to another, if you get an error, you must ask to your Host to enable FXP on your server.

Or.. you can login through telnet to your new host
ftp youroldip
get file.tar.gz
and then you have to untar that file

I hope this help you

Just wanted to say thanks for the tip on this FXP... It works really slick! :stickout Downloading the trial version and tried it out, man what a real time saver this is going to be...!!

Much Appreciated,

This software is also HIGHLY used in the MP3/Warez/ISO/VCD/pr0n/Movie, whatever scene.

If both servers are on a decent connection it should be no problem.
